South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford missing since Thursday! | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 703110 United States 06/23/2009 04:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Governor Sanford called to check in with his Chief of Staff this morning. It would be fair to say the governor was somewhat taken aback by all of the interest this trip has gotten. Quoting: Dread Pirate RobertsPeople could care less about a governor just taking a trip. What concerns people is that their legislators are safe. Not leaving any plausible story behind for their abscence, just disappearing without a cover story, does rather invoke concern. And having the cover story evolve from don't know to gone writing to gone hiking, well, I'm sure you see what I mean. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 709483 United States 06/23/2009 04:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A little more, please check the map of a potential split up continental USA at the Sorcha site: [link to www.whatdoesitmean.com] I haven't paid a lot of attention to these breakup maps, but this is the first time I've seen SC separate from GA. Georgia already has gas lines from Savannah to Atlanta, then elsewhere in the South. If South Carolina has a natural gas port terminal, then it would cover the state, Tennessee as planned, and up the Northeast coast. Breakup of the country would have the New Orleans-Houston ports transporting natural gas to the Mid-West. There is a lot of natural gas coming in the US now from the pipelines crossing Afghanistan. New line coming into SC from somewhere West of the state, will cross the state line at the I-85 Lake Hartwell bridge. Does it make sense that there will be jockeying for new markets for all the natural gas now flowing into ports? I'd like to read if anyone has other ideas. Also, would like to confirm whether new gas is of Russian origin. My guess is that South Carolina is going to have some legislators proven to be the straw men that they are. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 709483And, there is another angle .... The Afghanistan invasion by the US following 9/11 was to secure pipeline routes from the Caspian Sea to Pakistan and other points of sea departure for transport of valuable natural gas to ports in the US. Some to to New Orleans, don't know status after Katrina. Georgia was adding onto terminal storage capability at the time. Feds were talking new interstate I-3 from Savannah to Knoxville Tennessee, which would route natural gas pipeline. South Carolina started expanding port capability and there have been arguments. Dunno if there is competition with Georgia ports for accepting the natural gas. Don't know who is "selling" the natural gas, but if someone cares to scroogle, they may find that it is Russia. Now, wouldn't that be a cool coup if South Carolina governor guaranteed Russia US continental access to Russia for a huge market in natural gas? Just sayin' dudes, there is always more to the story ........ |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 710102 United States 06/23/2009 07:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK, here we are .... again. David Wilkins, from South Carolina and former US Ambassador to Canada in Ottawa and the Russian Ambassador to Canada in Ottawa are acquainted with each other. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 709483Easily, I can see that Sanford would take a quick trip to Ottawa for a pre-arranged meeting with the English-speaking Russian. Don't be foolish enough to bet that Sanford is left swingin' in the wind because news is leaked of his partay with the Russian Ambassador. Rather, more to the effect that the news "leaked" out cements Sanford's position with potential supporters and challenges his detractors. " Russian ambassador veteran of Cold War era By John Ward, THE CANADIAN PRESS May 6, 2009 Officials meet Russian envoy over expulsions OTTAWA - Georgiy Enverovich Mamedov, the Russian ambassador to Canada, is a career diplomat who spent a lifetime on the North American file. ..... In 1991, he became Russia's deputy minister of foreign affairs for the Americas, a job he held until 2003 when he came to Ottawa. In 2007, a survey by Embassy Magazine, a publication devoted to the Ottawa diplomatic corps, declared Mamedov and then-American ambassador David Wilkins as the diplomats with the best sense of humour. They also tied for having the corniest jokes. .... He speaks English ..." [link to cnews.canoe.ca] David Wilkins was Speaker of the SC House of Rep when Sanford was elected to the governor's office. Wilkins was subsequentlyappointed by Bush as Ambassador to Canada and has lived in Ottawa until Jan 20th this year when Obama took office. GREENVILLE, S.C.--(Business Wire)-- After spending the past three-and-a-half years ... Ambassador to Canada David H. Wilkins is returning to South Carolina to join the law firm of Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP effective Feb. 1. He will be based in the Firm`s Greenville office and will chair the Firm`s Public Policy and International Law practice group. Laugh if you like, but that wording may be more correct that you realize. There is too much going on in this state (South Carolina) to take the time to put in writing, plus everybody wants links and it takes a long time to look up all the links. |

JJackF108 User ID: 667270 United States 06/24/2009 11:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ha! then the reporters had started playing Where's Waldo so his Office released a statement: Quoting: JJackF108“Gov. Sanford is taking some time away from the office this week to recharge after the stimulus battle and the legislative session, and to work on a couple of projects that have fallen by the wayside. We are not going to discuss the specifics of his travel arrangements or his security arrangements.” Well...that settles that. Myself...I thought maybe he misunderstood when forced to take the money and thought it was his. I would've checked the French Riviera, but the official statement from his office puts me right at ease. Shack'ed up!!! ...we now await the next scandal! Well I called it,...but then again it was not to hard since he's a politician... Rebirth is possible in life, no matter how many tries it takes!!! I have an opinion, you just might not like it!!! |

An explanation would be much appreciated. Thanks. Quoting: OP from Dallas thread 711289Per the Faal article, the SC Gov. was said to have gone to Winnipeg to confer. I was told that Winnipeg is a significant place with the Masons, with alot of power-deals occuring there. "All Roads Lead to Winnipeg." That's the gist of it, making the Faal scenario a scratch more plausible to me. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 711329 Japan 06/25/2009 10:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i live in SC and have seen the governor in person a number o times, and of course seen him on media. Yesterday was not a typical display for him. He was unsure of himself and stuttering, which I haven't heard before. Of course, he's in a tight spot and stress does things to people. People around where I am are talking about how "odd" the whole "confession" came out. Also, the three guys in the end who kind of whisked him away before he finished answering reporters questions, we've never seen that. Sanford has always been his own boss, telling aides to wait if he wanted to take a few extra minutes. I don't know who the three are, if they are office staff, but they practically pulled him away from the microphones. This whole thing is unnatural and out of character for Sanford. He's no dummy, he is a sharp guy who simply would not have done things this way. We need to support him and not allow him to be forced from office before the end of his term. |

If I were writing a movie script with characters taken from headlines, it'd be something like a prosecutor and a governor were working against the clock to accomplish something of great import and secrecy, and were discovered or betrayed. The prosecutor dies, the governor is disappeared and told to play ball or else. The governor is re-appeared and tearfully falls on his own sword with a fabricated confession, to avoid something worse that's been promised him if he doesn't cooperate. But, that's a movie script.
